hi,

this is pretty deep but out of the money in this tourney. the original raiser is a 22/16/12 on 143 with a 3,6 utg raise. This is this tight that I choose to just call. PFR checks and I go for value.
The oc is a 36/29/0 but at the time I had little to no reads at all. Turn is pretty weak from my side but if I bet big I have to go with it and villain showed some strength calling mway. He calls again and I give him a set or smth big and check. Villain snap shoves river. I may call here or just barrel myself.

Against 2 villains I would most likely bet at least half pot for value.
On turn I would size up around half pot as well.
River is just standard I think. You can't really call a over bet with a bluff catcher without decent reads.

Cheers,

Hi, everyone
With all the respect guys, I ran to this hand occasionally cuz I haven't been posting anything here for an year maybe, and the first hand I opened was this one ,and I like Maniac and I admire all the hard work that he does so I saw a few hands while posting some and I opened AQo.

I have got a few comments on it
1st Preflop I don't' like that call. There is nothing bad in it when u know what u doing, u have to keep in mind there are so many players behind that can squeeze, and on those levels even worse- they find the call button :)... then u have the UTG range too. If it were me it would have been an easy 3bet/ fold to UTG 4bet vs unknown.
Would have saved some of the headache.

2nd Postflop So played...... that line was ok many years ago. And I reckon still does the job sometimes. But I would have taken this one :
Flop - in a 3 way it is ok to lead but smaller sizing, I would have taken bit less than a half may be bit more than 1/3th
Turn - Would have check/ called...
River- Would have bet thin value
* Benefits of this line, river raises would have consisted significantly less bluffs - easier decision .As in contrast in this line river bets consist too many and it it is very hard to decide. (U have to consider his stack as well)

So played, till river.... I'd be seriously considering a call, I'm not saying I would have done it, but I would be seriously considering it. Cuz there are some blockers and yes sometimes u are gonna run on sixes, sometimes on some stupid hands like KJs and KTo etc,. that players do sometimes on these levels for God knows what reason ♦ or just a random 4.
But it's got that smell in the air to me mate .

Conclusion
Just 3bet AQo regardless of raise is coming from UTG.

Just my personal opinion, it might be wrong :)

Well thank you. I appreciate your kind words. Your are totally correct preflop is an old line and it opens up for squeezes. Calling beats folding at least. The problem is that you have to know what to do on a 4bet shove. I wasn't sure so I just called.
Mtts are super complex and I started with choosing every easy decision from who I know what is the most likely correct play. Even 3betting is better if I am not sure what to do I go with the easy ones. Postflop can go either way. Ty
